all recent updates.
Retrospect 6.5 updated to most recent with most recent driver update...
Adaptec dual channel SCSI card.

SCSI card (PCI) shows up fine.
SC30e drives show up as hard drives - NOT as tape drives.
If I delete the drives from hardware manager, then reboot, Windows finds the drive, yet installs Win2K default HARD DRIVE drivers for the external SCSI TAPE DRIVES. I try and manually install/upgrade the drivers and every one says that the driver is incomatible with the hardware (i downloaded every driver off the site and tried to install every driver there just for the heck of it. None worked.)

In Windows explorer the devices show up as removeable drives.

In the hardware manager the SC30e drives show up as:
Storage Volume
>Generic Volume

Then farther down in the device manager, it shows:
Disk Drives
> NnRtrd`|RB, 20 SCSI Hard Drive

I also tried installing the SCSI card and the SC30e's on a WinXP machine and the same thing happened. Any input would be appreciated.
